Managing Stacks

Orchestration provides a level of automation in creating your virtual machines through templates. Use the orchestration engine to create and manage your infrastructure resources through a single or set of YAML files. For example, you can define storage, networking, instances, and applications and use that template repeatedly to create a running environment instead of defining these values each time.

Templates are used to create stacks, which are collections of resources. For example, a stack might include instances, floating IPs, volumes, security groups, and users. The Orchestration service offers access to all Metacloud core services through a single modular template, with additional orchestration capabilities such as auto-scaling and basic high availability.
